In this episode of our gaming podcast, we dive into a series of entertaining and sometimes frustrating customer interactions at GameStop. Our host shares a story that happened just days after their first episode, involving a particularly persistent customer looking for a PS5 at a bargain price.

From misunderstandings about pricing and inventory to dealing with unruly customers, you'll get an inside look at the challenges and humorous moments that come with working at a game store. The host also recounts a memorable incident involving a customer who didn't quite understand the difference between new and refurbished systems, leading to a circular and comical conversation.
